Father OH these medals intended for I'M
tutored savages whose standards Of art are
not supposed to be the highest. The por-
traits of Lincoln were abominabe. Silver
medals bearing his face have been given the
Indians right along up to the present time.
This was done partly as Il matter Of economy,
the silver medals being little smaller than
tho bronze, and separate dies being required
for them it was quite a saving to use the
Lincoln medal right along through the terms
of johnson, Grant, Hayes and Arthur.
Another reason, however, is quite as good,
and certainly more interesting. Some tribes
have demanded Lincoln medals. This was
the case especially among the Sioux. They
felt the iron hand Of national power in 1862,
when the great outbreak and massacre took
place in Minnesota, and they have ever since
regarded the sainted Lincoln as n mighty and
terrible chieftain Gen. Grant with his mild
Quaker policy did not seem TO them as
terrible as Lincoln. Much of this feeling is
due, doubtless, to the wholesale punishment
which was inflicted under warrant bearing
Lincolns signature, whereby thrty-nine
Sioux were hung on one scaffold at Mankato
in 1868.
The silver medal is worth SO; the bronze
ones eighty cents. The latter are far better
artistically than the silver ones, and the In
dams prize them about as much. Yet the
head chief of tribe receives the silver medal
only, and his lieutenants the others. Some
times an ordinary brave who has rendered
some special service to an Indian agent or

THE 4 RACE.

The New York Herald says the Daunt.
less is ready for sea and the Coronet has
nearly finished fitting out. On March 8,
the day appointed for the start. they
will in all probability set out on their
great ocean contest. The race is between
two very fine schooners-one, the Coro.
net, a brand.new craft representing the
very latest ideas in naval architecture.
The other, the Dauntless, although
twenty.one years old, is a vessel of which
any yachts,nan might we'll be proud. and
in spite of her age will be difficult to
beat, especially in such clustering
weather as she is nearly sure to en-
counter.
Our neighbor the Sun declared the
other day that this race "can hardly
prove q satisfactory test Of the speed
and power Of two yachts" We are in
clined to think that the Sun takes a
wrong view Of this contest. In our
opinion a race across the Atlantic is the
best possible test of both speed and
power.
The ocean yacht races of the past have
been so closely contested that the ele-
ment Of excitement was never wanting.
In the case Of the Vesta, Fleetwing and
Henrietta the Vesta made the passage in
IA days, 6 hours and so minutes; the
Fleetwing in IA days, 6 hours and 10
minutes and the Henrietta, the winning
yacht, in Is days, % hours and 46 min.
utes mean time. These yachts parted
company on the first day and steered
different courses. Equally close was the
race between the Cambria and the
Dauntless, the last named yacht being
beaten by l hour and 43 minutes only.
These examples prove that ocean racing
is a fair test Of speed and seaworthiness.
This race will be watched with eager
interest on both sides Of the Atlantic.

THE DIVISION OF IDAHO.


A Washington dispatch of February
27 says: The Senate Committee on Ter
ritories has reported with a favorable
recommendation the House bill provid.
inc for the division OF the Territory OF
Idaho and its annexation to the Terri.
tory of Washington. Senator-elect
Stewart, of Nevada, and j. W. Brown,
of Spokane Falls, W. T., appeared be-
fore the Committee on Territories and
made an argument in favor of the divis-
ion bill, and as a result the committee
laid aside the Senate bills, introduced
by Senator Harrison, to annex the Pan
handle to Montana, and by Senator
voorhees,, to annex the same to Wash
ington Territory, and took up the House
bill passed a year ago and gave it a favor
able recommendation.
The scheme at the bottom resembles
much the partition of Poland. The
mountain chain across the Territory OF
Idaho has always been a barrier to inter
course between the people living in the
north and south parts Of the Territory,
legislators from the Panhandle who de.
sired to reach Boise City had to travel
far out into Washington and Montana
Territories to get around. A railway,
however, has penetrated the mountains
and runs from Ceur d'Alene Lake south,
SO that it is now easy to reach Boise
City. Before this railroad was con-
. tructed the people of the Panhandle
and the Legislature petitioned Congress
to pass a bill cutting off the northern
portion and annexing it to either Mon
tana or Washington Territory. This
Winter they have changed their
minds, and protests against dividing the
Territory have been flowing in upon both
branches of Congress. Washington Ter
ritory clamoring for admission as a State
desires this Panhandle to secure the
population to entitle her to a Repre-
sentative in Congress, and in her petit
tion for admission proudly counts this
population as her own
Nevada is determined to have the
other portion of the Territory, to raise
herself above the yearly reproach OF be-
ing a "rotten borough" and this an
nexation is one of Senator Stewards pet
plans. For this purpose he is urging the
division scheme, and even Delegate
Haley mournfully admits that before

tory, with all its wealth, is likely to be
a thing of the past. The bill reported
yesterday has hardly an opponent in OF
